System Partitioning
Single Domain
Cannot be partitioned.
A single-domain system contains:
Its own power, cooling, and maintenance interface
Its own master clock
Dual Domain
Single Monolithic Partition
The combined domains function as a monolithic system.
Each domain contains a separate power subsystem and maintenance interface.
Cooling is shared between domains.
Although each domain contains a master clock, only one master clock is used by the
partition.
Two Separate Partitions
Each partition functions as an independent system.
The partitions cannot share resources.
Each partition must include at least one PM, one IOM, and one MSU.
Each domain contains a separate power subsystem and shared cooling, regardless of
the division of resources among partitions.
Each partition uses a separate master clock and has a separate maintenance interface,
regardless of the division of resources among domains.
